N53 Series N53SV by Ashley (Mar, 2012)The back of the screen is a very nice looking smooth metallic brushed aluminum.-Haven't tested the built-in speakers too much but there is a rather large one running along the width of the keyboard under the screen, and it gets pretty loud.
N53 Series N53SV by Edgar-Fematt (Apr, 2012)It is also rather light and some might say, screen is rather small, but big trade off with power.
screen resolution
N53 Series N53SV by J.-Green1080p, 1920 x 1080 resolution screen is gorgeous and great for multitasking.
N53 Series N53SV by F.-J.-Diaz (Jul, 2011)Display - It's definitely worth getting the N53SV-XV1 over the XE1 as the only difference I believe is getting a 1080p display for only $50 more.

N53 Series N53SV by G.-Roebuck (Aug, 2011)The wirless card only supports 2.4 GHZ N, not 5GHZ - which is pretty standard now.
processor
N53 Series N53SV by Gatherix (Jun, 2011)The Intel 2nd 2360QM Quad-Core 2GHz 6MB L3 Cache processor in this performs just as well as you would think: fantastic.
N53 Series N53SV by Gatherix (Jun, 2011)Something to keep in mind is that among certain programs (games especially), quad-core processors aren't quite standardized.

N53 Series N53SV by J.-Eve--Real-Reader (Apr, 2011)I added an additional 4GB RAM to my machine and only have 8GB of RAM now.
N53 Series N53SV by Narek-Khudabakhshyan (Mar, 2011)4GB of RAM is great already, after 6GB of ram you don't really see a big performance difference anyways.

ASUS N53 Series N53SV 15.6", 2.3 GHz, 6 GB, 640 GB HDD | Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Oct, 2011)The screen has a reflective glossy finish, so you'll need to pump up the screen brightness right up if you want to venture outside with the laptop - and even then you won't have much fun.
